Greta Donut

The temperatures have dropped drastically in the past few days here in Atlanta, and poor naked Greta was freezing her little weimaheiney off at night. We like to keep the heat at 60ish at night to create a frosty bedroom, so the poor animals were freezing to death-more than I knew. After consulting with my sewing elders, I decided on this fleece design. Since Greta sleeps on the couch anyway, she just needed a barricade around the sides to hold in some body heat. So I cut a fleece blanket in half ($5), and sewed two 60" tubes out of it. Then stuffed the two tubes with three king sized washable pillows ($12) and cut ties in the fleece at each end of the tubes and tied them off, to create this triangular snuggle donut. $17 dollars total. Beats the $150 dollar Ginat dog beds at the store.


She found it within seconds and hasn't gotten up all night.




Amelia, the cat likes to try to cuddle, but Greta does not approve.



I think Amelia had a plan. But she did eventually get kicked out and was given the extra fleece blanket (purchased, but not used) and has been snuggled up inside since. THe poor animals were freezing to death it seems.

Kitty Hammock

I made this fabulous ninja kitty hammock for Amelia from leftover fleece scraps. I am always trying to come up with stuff to do with the scraps; I just hate to waste them. I just chopped it and tied it around the laundry basket, tight. Im not sure I would consider it a success or not, as you can see. I think she misunderstood...
However she has been in it for an hour or more, so maybe it was me that misunderstood.
